List of Emmerdale producers

[2] Holmans and other early executive producers focused on rural life and the events of the Sugden family, but in the late 1980s, Keith Richardson and a new team of producers became responsible for revamping the soap.

Richardson and his team saw Emmerdale Farm move to a later transmission time, more dramatic storylines and a title change to Emmerdale, which resulted in the soap gaining viewers and becoming a major UK soap opera.

[3] In 2013, Kate Oates became the series producer of the soap and she expressed her aim to feature more of the countryside settings as seen in the earlier episodes, as well as add a balance to the soap's storylines rather than focus on a few dramatic storylines.

[5] She was replaced internally by Iain Macleod, who was promoted from Coronation Street's executive producer to overseeing both soaps.

She confirmed a new era for Emmerdale from 2024, with cast changes and "bold and ground-breaking drama".
